nr. 961 - Tents

I made two Tents (and two Family Tents) puzzles fro Indian Puzzle Championship. One of them was appeared on the competition.  Here is the other one. It is a bit easier than the competition puzzle.

nr. 962 - Daily League Sudoku - Triangle Sums Sudoku

This is a sudoku for Daily League Sudoku. 

This was a new type of WSC2011. It appeared in Part8, which was a bit special.There were 5 sudoku type 2 puzzles from each. One of them contained only signs, in the other one there wasn't any sign. I invented this sudoku genre to piece out the round.

This puzzle is solvable without any given number, but I decided that I would give some extra clues.

Rules for Triangle Sums Sudoku:

Standard Sudoku rules apply. A cell that equals to the sum of two of its diagonally touching 

neighbours is marked with a grey right triangle, with its legs facing towards the two neighbours. 

Whenever a cell contains two such triangles, the resulting grey square is shown. In this case, it is part 

of the puzzle to figure out which are the triangles that made up for that square. All available triangles 

(and squares) are given. 

nr. 963 - Catwalk

Another old puzzle. I made this puzzles 2 years ago for the WPC. Finally, we didn't use it.

Rules: Catwalk

Draw a line (or more) which connects the circles with same colour. The numbers next to and below the diagram indicate how many cells are used in those particular rows and columns. The lines can go only horizontally and vertically and no cell is visited more than once.

nr. 964 - Radar

Just a Wednesday puzzle.

Rules for Radar

Rules: Radar

Draw some rectangles into the grid, with sides at least two units, so that they do not touch each  other, not even diagonally. Numbers outside the grid indicate the number of cells in that row  / column occupied by the rectangles.

The rectangles have 2 type of elements. The corners are rounded, all other elements are squares. So if a rounded element is given  it is the corresponding corner of a rectangle. If a square is given it can be edge or inside element of a rectangle, but it cannot be a corner.

nr. 965 - Battleship

I have same opinion about the Battleship puzzles than Thomas Snyder has.
(http://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2013/02/ask-dr-sudoku-8-no-subbing/)

I never liked the 10x10 Battleship puzzles where all clues are given. And I don't prefer the sudokus where 9 clues are given and I have to count the last one.
So I never created this kind of puzzles. Instead of these I made 6x6 puzzles with small fleet. Or 8x8 puzzles with the normal fleet.
You can see my style through the Sample puzzle, which is 6x6 and solvable logically, but I don't think that it is a very easy puzzle.
For the WPC2011 I made some 10x10 puzzles. This puzzle is made of that style.
